I flashed system.img and boot.img via fastboot command on my KARBONN A9.it booted .It's close to stock experience with not much big modifications made.
But as expected colors were washed out and both SIM cards went undetected which means spice has also flashed new baseband on it.That's the reason I guess they didn't release an OTA.So may be a simple backup restore may not work on spice phones too.

Has anybody successfully restored the ICS backup in GB ? If there is really new baseband in ICS then we will have to update baseband first then flash the ICS ROM. I think baseband version in GB is V3062.

Baseband flashing is always a big risk.The Chinese w688 and w680 are yet to get ics update.By flashing the wrong baseband you can easily end up with a bricked phone.

Its not a big deal when u have CWM installed and NANDROID backup...I have flashed many basebands on my gingerbread version of spice mi 425..

Are you sure you have flashed many basebands? If so how did you backup?Baseband on our phones can not be backed up using cwm since they are not in /system.

pls upload a new backup bro... am doing a full/normal restore on GB steller & it says md5 mismatch.... i tried restoring another backup from another user & it passed the md5 check & restored... but for some reason, the fone is stuck @ spice logo... i saw tat he didnt do a factory restore b4 backing up
so pls upload a fresh factory restored ics backup (i guess touch cwm 5.5.0.4 is the latest for steller?)
about the baseband thing, wouldnt tat get updated by flashing ics backup?

I will upload an update.zip for you guys to flash via Clockwork mod recovery.[thank Suhas,coz this is based on the backup provided by him]
About baseband,baseband flashing is completely different from rom flashing.You cant do that via CWM recovery or by restoring ICS backup.Spice or Karbonn wont provide that,K-touch might provide that,but chinese equivalent phone of ours are yet to get ICS.
So its highly recommend u visit a Spice service centre and get it updated to ICS.

Here is the link to Spice ICS flashable via CWM recovery - http://www.mediafire.com/?8255p98plmnhjcm
Do the following before flashing
Boot into recovery -> Factory reset
Go to mount/storage -> Format /system
Note - Most probably your sim cards wont get detected because you need to be on the newer baseband(flashable files are not yet available)
This is for SPICE-Mi425 ,but Karbonn A9 users too can flash it. (guaranteed sim card wont work + display color problems )
@suhas - Please link this post on the first page

question............
do i need to carry the bill to service center to update ics ??? well, tats a hypothetical question..... so pls just tell me guys who updated "did the service center ask u for bill"

No need for bill. The upgradation is free for all Spice Mi 425 phones. I have done it, at the service centre, without showing the bill.

[Q] how should go back to ginger bread from CM10?

Hi there,
I have flashed CM10, I have backed up my original gb ROM, but before flashing CM10 forgot to backup CM9, so is it possible to restore gb direct from CM10 or I should flash ÇM9?

You mean a nandroid backup? If I recall correctly, nandroid backups between GB and CM10 are not compatible (because of the different partition layout). So you should first flash a GB ROM with the same CWM you used to do the backup and then restore from there.
PS: I found this out there:
Nandroid backups of CM7 (Gingerbread), CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and CM10 (Jelly Bean) are incompatible with each other. Before you restore from a nandroid backup, make sure you’re running the correct version of Android.

AFAIK, there is no other way except flashing stock rom by ODIN. I've tried to restore gb from cwm, result - soft-bricked phone.
Also i think this thread should be in a different part of i9000 forum, maybe Q&A, am i right?

Correct.
CM10 has a completely different partition structure to Samsung ROMs.
To downgrade, you need to use Odin/Heimdall

Just Odin -> 2.3.5 -> Root -> Nandroid. Winner

simply use odin

what about flashing stock gb rom in cwm ?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

Just flash a stock rom (ex. JW5) in Odin and root it. I do not think you can flash a GB rom from CWM if you're on CM10 because of the partition change.

Yep, just use Odin to go back to Gingerbread... Then once you've done that flash in dbdata.rfs because if you don't you'll end up with a bootloop (like the others said, different data partitions).

I flashed a gb rom.in recovery while im on aokp cm10 and all works fine no odin needed

you need to use odin. just google it.

Actually i write this words on my device i flashed aokp jelly bean and than i flashed gingerbread and restore my backup all works fine

[Q] How to get back to Stock ROM on S5300?

I have Samsung Galaxy S5300. I recently flashed my phone with Droid Belt ios themed(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012592).
I want to go back to my stock ROM. Please help me.

But y?

Try researching on the internet and download your stock ROM .Then just flash it through CWM or install it from your computer ...Either way.
Next time , make a backup of your orignal ROM .
Hope this helped

Help! Wierdest problem alive !

Hey all ! I flashed cm10.1 alpha #6 about 2 weeks ago and to my surprise it was really doing well and I had no plans about switching ROMs again. But after a week I thought about flashing PAC ROM. I made nandroid backup of cm10.1 and flashed PAC ROM . everything went well but when I wanted to go back to cm10.1 , I restored its backup. After it was restored I selected reboot system now from recovery and after then my device just showed me boot animation and was stuck on boot animation only. I waited for 2 hours ( seriously 2 hours without my phone was the worst part ) but still nothing happened
Ultimately I had to reflash the whole ROM again
This same problem happened for the second time when I restored my flyrom v4 backup and then after using it for an hour / I restore the backup if c10.1 (this was the new backup which I made after reflasing the rom) . still it didn't boot , it was stuck on boot animation only
Now I want to try out apex sense but I'm scared if I want to go back , I would need to reflash cm10.1 again
Somebody ease help me out I'm Seriously stuck with cm10.1 now
Regards

Why do you restore nandroids?? Just do a clean flash.. If you absolutely have to restore a nandroid, i would recommend clearing the cache and dalvik after restoring(if you havent already done it)..

Exactly. I always keep the apks of my apps, have a vcard file of my contacts and use SMS Backup app to back up all texts. Nandroids may have incompatibility after switching back from a different rom.

Guys it takes a lot of time to flash a ROM then set it right with our choices and nandroid backup is the fastest option BTW this problem is only with cm10.1 / never had this problem with any other backup of stock ROM or flyrom or build 8 by dereas
God knows what's causing this

There's also PhilZ advanced cwm recovery that can handle both cwm and twrp backups. But I didn't find its scrolling smooth enough and it also had some GUI restart bug so I switched back to twrp
